How can the Orcs still control the Horde after this?

seriously, looking at these screenshots in the other thread, almost every named orc in orgrimmar (or at least the ones able to fight) is killed in this raid. NPCs of all kinds wind up evil and are killed by either the Kor'kron or the players, and we kill the Kor'kron too. Some of the best the orcish race has to offer dies, like nazgrim. Their whole military is being completely destroyed. There are NO organized orcs helping the rebel forces, except for the few npcs like Thrall and saurfang/eitrigg.

But think about it. The orcs have been utterly ruined by this. their city is screwed and SO MANY of them are dead now. even the devs describe it as "wiping out every orc in orgrimmar". how can they still be the dominant force in the horde after this?

They probably won't be a dominant force. I mean, Vol'jin, Thrall, Baine, etc could become the warchief. Shit, Anduin and Wrathion have an equal chance as well. The orcs will most likely not control the horde any longer.

I'm rooting for the underdog, Sylvanas Windrunner, to ressurect all those orcs and add them to her Forsaken ranks. B) Edit: aaaaand take control of the horde. Forgot to put that.

Ogri will become a vassal state to the humans, who will rule over the Orcs as overlords. The next xpac will be all about the Orc underground resistance fighting to resurrect their place in the hierarchy of the world.

Frostwolves should take control as all the other warmongering shit clans have been crushed into the dirt, deservingly so. There shouldn't be any place for Dragonmaw, Warsong and Blackrock orcs on Azeroth anymore. Frostwolves can actually salvage the Orcish race, the Horde has proven their worth with or without Orcs (something diehard Orc fans are going to have to come to grips with).

Orgrimmar will and always will remain the Orcish capital and Horde capital. Gameplay dictates it. And gameplay is the reason Orgrimmar is still around.

If it's not an elf, leave it on the shelf.Night Elf Independence Movement

its likely that the trolls will take control of the horde at this point.

theres way less trolls then there are orcs even at this point.
